Australians have expressed concern over the legality of Federal MP Craig Kelly’s mass-distributed text messages to Australians spreading Covid-19 vaccine misinformation.

Mr Kelly who is a member of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party has sent two rounds of text messages urging Australians to follow a link to a ‘Vaccines Risk Adverse Events Report.’ 

Regulators have since responded to complaints by saying that not much can be done because the texts “do not appear to constitute advertising under the Act”.
